Lunch was provided by the Dairy Queen in College Station, TX.

In late 1989, I came to this alien town as a teenager getting prepared for college. For 5 years, College Station was called home. Now, 12 years later, College Station is once again an alien town- not alien as in unknown, but rather like 2 friends, the city and I, who have grown apart throughout the years. Eight years ago I left, but the city still becons like a beam from a lighthouse guiding a ship along the shore.

Off Highway 36, I stopped at a state park near Iron Bridge Park and called it an early night.
